Hello -
Is there a way to get a files size in Vee? (without opening the file, it can
be up to 100MB, or going through a command prompt DIR method)
Also, is there a way to check if a file is open by another application
before I open it?

Regards,
Joe Flynn

Hi. 2-cents:

Having just finished up a system of this nature, there was one catch. We
used Agilent's 16-bit ISA card on Win2K & had an occational crash related to
sicl4.bas:

The reason it's called sicl4 is 'cause it was developed for VB4. VB has
changed a lot since then. Sometimes vb_iwrite crashes in
WideCharToMultiByte. This function is used to convert a UNICODE string to
another format (ANSI in this case). The problem is that this call is no
longer necessary because VB does that automatically.

Now, it really shouldn't matter that this function is called twice. I don't
understand why, but occationally this would blow up. I didn't notice any
pattern of failure, but of course there really wasn't time to look in to it
in any depth. We simply replaced the card with an NI card and used their
library.

Never saw this problem before.

Nick Evans: my email response to you bounced.

In general, although I may chose to help with some questions which I believe
no other vrf participant would be able to answer, this is not an invitation
to send me personal email requesting VEE support. My workload does not allow
that.

Lurking warily,
